Starting point is 00:01:18 Yeah. 60 seconds, we'll take you there. Good sleep is one of the key ingredients to a successful day. If you're not getting good sleep regularly, your whole day can end up feeling like a never-ending schlog through thick mud.

It's relief factor sleep at relief factor.com. Dream big and sleep tight. I want to talk to you here about something that Billy Graham told me about five years before he died. We became friends at the end of his life. And I so admired him. And at one point, I said, Billy, where are the people that are going to step up?
Starting point is 00:02:51 Where's the next George Washington, Abraham Lincoln? Where's the next Billy Graham? And he smiled and he said, God is tired of people like me getting credit for his work. He said, it's not going to work. this way, this time. He said this time, people who are just regular people are going to do something that they may think is small and insignificant.
Starting point is 00:03:21 And they may not even understand it, but they feel compelled that they're supposed to do this one thing and they'll argue in their own head, say, that doesn't make any sense. Why would I do that? That's not going to change anything. And he said, and if everybody who hears what they're supposed to do and does just that, nothing more, nothing less, just that, and remains faithful, he said, the lights will come on and you'll see a mosaic that God is working and everyone on earth will know. Only the God of Abraham, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob could have done it.
Starting point is 00:04:00 That's what he told me. It is lasted with me. And I'm seeing that come to fruition right now. Now, Oliver Anthony was a guy who was at the end just a few weeks ago. He was at the end sitting in his truck, weeping, completely broken. Now he's on Joe Rogan. He was on Joe Rogan and he's talking to Joe about the scriptures. And Joe is listening.
Starting point is 00:04:36 And so are millions of Americans. I think what Oliver Anthony just did is what our preachers are failing to do. Our preachers, it's all gobbledygook. It doesn't feel real to so many Americans. But listen to this, Oliver Anthony, on Joe Rogan. I kind of had this breakdown moment and decided that I was going to let whatever ego I had go. And just at this point is like I knew I didn't have much. left in for me anyway and I wanted I wanted to serve whatever purpose it was that I was here to
Starting point is 00:05:13 serve it's like you get this just overwhelming feeling in you I was just crying like a baby just this very like warm feeling throughout me and that that really hasn't gone away since like I I'm not the guy that can play in front of 12,000 people on guitar I would be like I mean I had never played a paid gig when we when we played the show at the farm market where Jamie Johnson showed up that was my first paid gig. Like, I'm not a guy to go out and play live shows, but I can tell you I was so, like, I was just so at peace being up there.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Like, it just felt like that's where I was supposed to be. And with all of this, it has been, like, there's no way that Chris from six months ago could handle what's gone on the last two weeks, but I feel just so empowered from all of it. And I don't know. I'm telling you, like, again, I'm not anybody special, and I'm certainly not here to preach anybody,
Starting point is 00:06:06 but just from coming from somebody who was just really just in a really just f*** up place like and I use that word just like with discretion but in this case it describes like where I was like that guy found a lot of peace like from this book and from looking at things in a different way yeah from looking at things through the eyes well yeah and I think for me it was like I had been in you know I'd been in church growing up and I had been I'd been exposed to all that but I'd found a lot of a lot of a lot of theatrics and a lot of politics in church and in religion when I was younger and so it just immediately turned me off to it so if you can take us to like what was like the day you picked it up
Starting point is 00:06:48 what what was the feeling that you had like what caused you to act what what was it like when you did it yeah I mean I'd been reading it here and there off and on and I had for like off and on for a long time like because I again I was introduced to it as a kid but it was really just like um I remember I went to the ER for everything that was going on. I mean, I thought I was seriously going to die. Like I was having shooting pains up under my jaw, down in my wrist and my leg. Like just cardiovascular 101 symptoms. Of course, I'm 31.
Starting point is 00:07:26 I had been like, I could run four miles without stopping, no problems. Like, I knew my heart was strong, but I just freaking out. Yeah, but I went and did that. And I remember being in the truck after that. just like and I just yeah I just had a breakdown moment I was just just just crying and um was just just just felt hopeless like like like almost the way a child feels hopeless when they you know like you can't find your parent or something like a like a four year old that can't find his parents or something I was just like just didn't have
Starting point is 00:07:58 anything left in me and um okay stop listen to what he's doing here this is a guy just weeks ago was feeling just like that. Just weeks ago. That's in itself a miracle. He's a guy who has screwed up everything in his life. He said up until he was about 30 and then things went awry. I was the exact opposite. I was just crazy bad until I was about 30 and then I tried to clean up my life.
Starting point is 00:08:31 And all he's doing now is he sitting in the truck and he's completely broken. How many of us can relate to this. You're out of answers. Now listen. I don't know. I just decided like right then and there. I was like, I know I can't do this anymore.
Starting point is 00:08:53 But I know that I can, I know there's things that I need to do. And I just, I was just told God. I was like, just let me do it. Like, and I'll give all the shit up. I'll give up the weed and I'll quit getting drunk. I'll quit, I'll quit being so angry about things and I'll just, like, I'll just call it good. Whatever I've done up from, from up until I was 30 or whatever, 31, like, we'll just call
Starting point is 00:09:18 that good and I'll start over again and I'll make him the focus and not me. And I just tried to try to let my, let my ego and everything that I was, just let that go and just focus on because obviously like it's not just me I've seen it with even other people I know and I see it with celebrities and everything but I don't know I just feel like um we're in such a weird place right now in the world stop for a second what is he doing what's he doing right here this is the first step of Alcoholics Anonymous first step I give up I can't do it I completely give up, got to give it all to you. I'll just, we'll just call it
Starting point is 00:10:03 start fresh. That is, without him knowing it, that is the first step. You cannot heal yourself until you get there. This is the problem with our nation. You can't fix
Starting point is 00:10:21 it until we get there. Lord, I give up. I give up. We've tried everything. We've tried everything. Everything we do seems to make it worse. We've tried this, we've tried this. The only thing we haven't tried is humbling ourselves.
Starting point is 00:10:43 See, this is why humility is so important. Because without humility, you can't get to where he is, which is completely broken. And luckily, for me as an alcoholic, and unfortunately for my mom who was an alcoholic, my mother's bottom was death. She didn't have a place that was bad enough to break her until death. I'm grateful that that wasn't my bottom line,
Starting point is 00:11:18 and I've wondered for a long time, is that the bottom line for our country? Is our country? Are we so arrogant that we'll let us. Let it die before we say, okay, I give up. I give up. I just, I just want peace in my life. I just, I want to be a decent person.
Starting point is 00:11:44 We want to be a good country, but we obviously don't know how to do it. Now, listen to what he's about to do the next step. Listen to this. I feel like God's working through inadvertently through certain people to get, to get his point across. He is. So take me to what you did. Do you start reading the Bible? Like, what did you do?
Starting point is 00:12:10 I just changed my perspective. You changed you. I quit worrying about me, and I started worrying about what it is that I'm supposed to do. You know, like it talks in the Bible about being a servant and, you know, giving up, I guess, my desire and my will and whatever it is that I want to do. like, I don't know the best way to describe it, but it's about, it's about trying to use what I have as a tool versus doing what I can in the moment to give myself whatever satisfaction that it is I'm trying to get, you know. It's about trying to let go of your ego, I guess, in a way. And I mean, people pursue that mentality without faith. I mean, it's the idea of there being
Starting point is 00:12:58 something bigger than you, but I think inherently all human beings idolize something. Like, it talks in the Bible about false idols. We all have false idols, like whether it's our phone or it's a celebrity or it's something we do or it's our addiction to food or drugs or whatever, but like it's very difficult for a human to be the biggest thing on their hierarchy. There's always something above us, right? Because we're always in pursuit of something bigger than whatever it is in that moment. And I think for me it was just about taking everything else, all the distractions and all the other things in my life away and just ensuring that at least, and look, I'm, we're all, we're all, we're all, we all sin and we all do stupid things. Like, we're all just people. Nobody's
Starting point is 00:13:40 special or righteous. People sometimes act like they're special and righteous, but we're all just the same thing. Like, um, but it's just about trying to make that, make that my idol. Make God in the concept of what it is that he once done on this earth, my idol versus anything else. Stop. He's just completed the first two steps. Step one. Admit your powerless over alcohol or whatever else it is. And that your lives are unmanageable.
Starting point is 00:14:13 That's the first thing you have to do. My life is completely out of control. I've tried everything. I'm broken. I'm crying in my truck. I can't do it. I'm powerless over this. I can't stop it.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Second step. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. He's saying, there is a God. There is a God. And I've followed other gods and all of these other gods are false. They've only played into my problem because they feed my ego and what I want. and only thing, only thing that is above humans is God. And so I am powerless over my problem and my life is is out of control and only a power greater than me can restore us to sanity.
Starting point is 00:15:15 First two steps. Now I'm going to take a one minute break and come back and show you he's completed the third step. This is the fastest. This is why AA works. Because it's so obvious. It's natural. It's natural how it works. When he gets to the fourth step, that's where trouble sets in.
Starting point is 00:15:47 But I want you to listen to the third in 60 seconds. Tragic statistic, recent study of hundreds of post-abortive women found that 60% of them would have preferred to give birth. 60%. Can you even begin to comprehend that? How many women are just horribly scarred? If they received more support from others or had a little more financial security, they would have given birth.
Starting point is 00:16:21 This is where preborn steps in. They're here for women during their darkest hour, when deciding between life and death for their child, but they're also there for them afterward. Giving a woman a free ultrasound increases her chance to save the baby, doubling the chance she'll choose life. And when she does, preborn is there to help her for up to two years an additional support. When you support preborn, you not only support women,
Starting point is 00:16:48 you empower them and you save lives, your donation of $28 will help a woman make a choice that she won't have to regret the rest of her life. And it gives her the ultimate blessing. Life. Your love can save a life. Dial pound 250 on your cell and just say the keyword baby. Pound 250 keyword baby. Preborn.com slash Beck. Preborn.com slash Beck or pound 250 keyword baby sponsored by preborn. 10 seconds. Station ID. Okay. So the third step. Let's see if he makes it. Like we all serves, we all serve some master, whether we realize it or not. So why not let it be the master that is above all?
Starting point is 00:17:39 And so when you made this transformation in your mind, did you then start reading scripture like regularly? Like what did you start doing? Yeah, well, it was different. Well, what really, I guess it's like now I don't read it. I don't read it because I feel like I should read it to be a better person. It's like now I try to read it for the guidance within it.
Starting point is 00:17:58 And I'm still in the infancy stages of a lot of this. Like I've read a lot of Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes, and Luke and there's other good books, but just trying to, I don't know, like trying to restructure, I guess, on a granular level, like I guess the neural pathways in my brain that have certain habits and certain ways of thought. Like, I've tried to retrain that to, you know, like there's things it says, like, and I'll be very brief with this, I promise, but like one thing, ironically, it's Proverbs 420, which I thought you were like. So if there's anything better. Perfect. Stop right.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Just a second before we get to that. He just completed the third step. Okay. First step, we're powerless. Our lives are out of control and I have no power to stop it. Second, there is a power greater than me. There is a God, a God of your understanding, a power greater than me that will restore me to sanity.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Third step, I will turn my will and my life over the, the care of God as I understand him. The first thing he said when we went back to this clip is we all serve a master. I just decided to serve the master, the God. And now I'm reading scriptures, so I get to learn his will, what he wants me to do. third step made a decision to turn over our lives and our will over to the care of God as we understand him. I'm telling you, God is working miracles. This is why I've said, you want to save the country?
Starting point is 00:19:46 It's anyone who understands the 12 steps of AA. It will get you there. We need to do this as a nation. But the fourth step is the really tough one. Do we have time to go on to the, here's, I think he said it was Psalms 420. Let's Proverbs. Preach. My son, pay attention to what I say.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight. Keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them in health the one's whole body. Above all else, guard your heart. For everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free from perversity. Keep corrupt, talk far from your lips.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left. Keep your foot from evil. That's pretty big. Yeah, it is profound. Joe Rogan.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Wow, that's profound. So listen to what he just said. This, I think, that this is the proverb that he would bring up. Tells you everything you need to know about him. and politics. He has done everything he could to distance himself from the right and the left, mainly from the right,
Starting point is 00:21:06 because those were the ones running to him with open arms going, you're one of us. He's, I believe, being used by God, and you're not going to make any inroads if you're Glenn Beck and your name is so associated with the right, or, you know, you're Michael Moore
Starting point is 00:21:24 and you're so associated with the left, whatever. It's not going to happen. He's fixing his eyes on God, not turning to the right or the left, and he will fulfill whatever it is he's supposed to fulfill, and he'll be shocked by it, as he already is. Shocked by it. God works quickly when we are willing. The Glenn Back Program. How often you find yourself just going through the motions when it comes to feeding your dog? Bowl is empty, grab the bag of Kibble, fill her up. Let me tell you some.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Last night, I had such a fun time with, you know, feeding him. Who's what I'm a guy? Who wants dinner? Who's dinner? And then filling it up, watching him with his nose in the bag. Okay, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:22:12 And then kind of, I put a couple of kib, Kibble in my hand. He just sniffed them, didn't eat them. Then I put the bowl up on the counter and I put the rough greens on top it, mixed it. Now put it down in front of him. and he gobbled the bowl.

Starting point is 00:23:28 Yeah, I didn't see it or hear it at all. I had, you know, just seen some coverage of it. Yeah. want to give you the slightly different impression that I got without actually listening to it to the one that you receive by actually listening to it. Huh. Okay. So you just played an incredible awakening of a person who's finding God, who's changing his life, who's really a very, very humble about it, not preachy, just like I'm telling you what happened to me. Here's what I got. This is from variety. Rich men singer Oliver Anthony laments porn, prescription drugs, and more in strange two-hour. or Joe Rogan interview. Wow.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Because he thought porn was bad and didn't think, didn't like prescription drugs. It was strange, but like nothing about this, nothing about the really, and that's really the most important part of his story. You know, because people obviously connected at some level
Starting point is 00:24:25 with the lyrics of the first song that came out. And that's how people were interested in him. But the real story here is him and his his change, his awakening, his, the life that has gone from zero to 60 in a few weeks really quickly. I mean, that's the incredible thing about this, why he's an interesting figure. And the fact that, I mean, listen, everybody is feeling defeated right now. Everybody is losing hope. We're all, at least I've been in my truck crying my eyes out over the country and, you know, God, help us.
Starting point is 00:25:03 us. I mean, everything we do, we screw it up. Help us. Where are you? Help us. Help us. Help us. And he is answering those prayers. And you don't see it. But he is answering those prayers through individuals because everything else is discredited. So these individuals pop up and you're going to see more of them popping up here and there. And they may not become famous because it's not about the fame. It's about the message that he's sending. And the message that he's sending. And the message is, I'm there. I am there. Once you humble yourself and you're broken, I'm there for you.
Starting point is 00:25:41 And I will rush to your aid. I just want you to know if you're feeling like he was feeling, this message is for you. You're listening to this program today for a reason. Don't write this off as a coincidence. There's a method. It's why it's called a miracle. You know, some people will say, You know, a miracle is merely a change of perspective.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I think it is. I think it is. You can look at a miracle and go, oh, well, it was just the winds that swept up the water because there was a really big storm. That would help Moses get across. Okay. If that's what it was, fine.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Change your perspective on that. Wow, what a coincidence that was at that time. What a coincidence it is. You're struggling. perhaps with something. And right now, you happen to be listening to this broadcast and you're hearing his message. I'm just amazed at how he performed the first three steps of the 12 steps of AA. The next one is really, really hard.
Starting point is 00:27:05 The first one is I'm powerless. I can't. My life is out of control. Second one is there's a power greater than me that can, restore me. All I have to do, third step, is make the decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God as I understand him and follow what he says. Then the fourth one, make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourself. Five, admitted to God to ourselves and another human being, the exact nature of your wrongs. Six, ready to have God,
Starting point is 00:27:43 remove all of these. Seven, humbly ask him to remove the shortcomings. Then you start to make amends for them. Now, let me show you how this works in a nation. Abraham Lincoln was not a deeply religious man. In fact, he hated religion because his father was the kind of guy who would quote scriptures as he would beat him. And so he went off on a dark, dark path. Most people don't know. this. We don't, you know, we don't celebrate people's dark path, but we should at least understand how the person got there. He was horribly abused by his father. His father was a Bible toten guy and would beat him because of the scriptures. And Abraham Lincoln is like, I don't want anything to do with my father. I don't want to ever be like my father. And this is all garbage. And so he
Starting point is 00:28:41 rejected it and he became the only reason the only reason why maybe he changed at first was because he was afraid of syphilis because he had hoared around we ever heard that about abraham lincoln that's who he became then he realized my life is becoming unmanageable and he didn't turn to god he just turned to higher values and principles and started to live those He still kind of, he knew God and he knew the Bible inside and out. But he was not what you would call a practicing Christian. He said, I wasn't Christian when the war broke out.
Starting point is 00:29:33 I wasn't Christian when my son died. I became a Christian at Gettysburg. That's where he makes the covenant. That's where he asks America. as a broken president, as somebody who has completely broken down, and he sees what's happening, and they can't make any progress. The North is losing at this point.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Listen to what he said in his second inaugural address and tell me this isn't the fourth, fifth, sixth, sixth, sixth, seventh step of AA. Neither party expected for the war of this magnitude or the duration which it's already attained, neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph and as a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, we pray to the same God, and each invokes his aid against the other. It might seem strange for any man. to dare ask a just God's assistant in wringing their bread from the sweat of another man's face. But let's not judge, or we will be judged.
Starting point is 00:30:57 But the prayers of both cannot be answered. And neither of them are answered fully. But the Almighty has his own purposes. Quote, woe unto the world because of its offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come. But woe to that man by whom the offensive cometh. End quote. If we should suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses in which the providence of God must needs come,
Starting point is 00:31:30 but which have continued through his appointed time, he now wills it to stop. And that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woes due by those whom the offense came, shall we discern then in any departure from those divine afterdributes that that the believers in a living God always ascribe to him? We hope, we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills it continue, until all of the wealth piled by the bondsman's two
Starting point is 00:32:15 250 years of unrequieted toil shall be sunk. And until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another, drawn with a sword. As it was said 3,000 years ago, still it must be said, the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous together. He is saying, I surrender my will and the country must surrender their will. And if it means we're destroyed because of our sins, we're going to be destroyed. Now, that seems like somebody who's giving up, right?
Starting point is 00:32:58 Say this all the time to people and they say, oh, so we're going to just give up? No. Accept the will of God and then do all that you can with malice toward none, with charity for all. with the firmness in the fight as God gives us to see the right. So in other words, we're fighting as hard as we can, and we're struggling to see the light and see the right. But God's giving that to us, so keep humble. He says, let us strive on to finish the work we're in,
Starting point is 00:33:34 to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan. to do all which may achieve and cherished a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. Everything you need to know about life and our country, because it's the same, because in this country, we the people are the country. And because we the people have gone astray, our government has gone astray. it's merely a reflection of us. And let me tell you, with firm reliance on divine providence,
Starting point is 00:34:29 if every dollar and every success this country has had needs to go down the drain for us to do God's will, for us to be a nation that is righteous and good and works to serve mankind, so be it. We'll make it because we have God on our side. Sorry, because we are on God's side. Huge difference. It seems like these days we almost do more online than we do offline.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Unfortunately, that frequency creates an illusion of security, but it is an illusion. Cybercriminals are constantly finding new ways to get a hold of your information and they'll exploit every advantage available to them. It's why it's important that you have security with life lock. Everything we do online at any time, it's important to understand cybercrime and identity theft and how it affects our lives and how fast it is changing. It's equally important to realize measures can be taken to help keep it from happening,

Starting point is 00:36:06 This is the Glenn Beck program. Alarming. Alarming. Yesterday, Mitch McConnell. He's speaking to reporters. and here's what happens. What are my thoughts about what? Running for re-election in 2026.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Now he's frozen. His eyes aren't moving. Did you hear the question, Senator, running for re-election in 2026? He's looking up at a corner. All right, I'm sorry, you all, we're going to meet a minute. She seems.
Starting point is 00:37:00 They seem. Like this has happened before. They're not freaked out. One of the aides speaking to him. Now he comes out of it a bit. Okay. Okay. Somebody else have a question.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Please speak up. Yeah. What just happened? How is that not your next question? That is not the next question. What just happened to you? Where'd you go? I mean, this is
Starting point is 00:37:33 terrifying. This is our country, people. This is our country. how everybody in Kentucky is not standing up and saying right now, come home. Come home. It's over. It's over. It's sad. Home. It's over. It's sad. It's over. It's, it's really sad. And it's terrible to watch that happen. We'll all get there, I guess, at some point. They're families. But how can you let this go on? And like, look, I understand there are calculations to be made with seats the way it works in Kentucky. By the way, thanks to Mitch McConnell largely.
Starting point is 00:38:07 he changed the law a couple years ago so that the Democratic governor couldn't name the next senator. You wonder if he knew that this was coming on with him at the time. Well, I know he told me... Glenn?
Starting point is 00:38:22 Glenn? What just happened? No, but it's like, wouldn't you say that? Yes, of the 100%. How do you not ask that? And you give the AIDS come over and you could tell that this has happened
Starting point is 00:38:35 before. The first one tries to cover and say, oh, he just didn't hear you. So she, he, She basically yells in his ear. Yeah. Hey, answer that question. You hear that question about you running again? And he is as if nothing has occurred.
Starting point is 00:38:51 No, he's like a seizure. Mary has seizures. And that's how we are with Mary. When she'll freeze up and everybody would go, Mary's having a seizure. And then we all just come and we just hold her. And we're just like, it's okay, Mary. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:39:07 It's okay. We pray on her. and then she comes out of it. She's fine. But that was the exact. I mean, you've seen it. Obviously, this happened over and over again. Is that what you just saw?
Starting point is 00:39:18 Is that this? Would you think it is a seizure or? It's some neurological something. I don't know what. But I mean, notice he did this in the first time. We'd have to go back and look at the tape. But I think when he did it last time, his eyes went up and to the right. Yeah, that kind of happened there too.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Yeah. And it's a neurological event of some sort. I don't know. I'm not a doctor. But it's disturbing. Now, I don't know. I'm suspicious. It does, you know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:45 I'm no doctor, but obviously associating it with age. It does seem like this has been a long, slowing process for him. But this is not. But it may not be. What's happening with Mitch McConnell is not the same as the dementia in the White House. No, no. It's different. It's much more close to the brain damage from our senator in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Or Feinstein. Or Mike. Gosh. How many examples? This is our country. Would you let him drive? Of course not. Why? He could hurt somebody. He can hurt 350 million people.

Starting point is 00:42:22 a lot of evidence now that our president is involved and has engaged in bribery, selling out our country, and lying to the American people about it, and then
Starting point is 00:42:38 the cover-up, which is probably the worst, perhaps in American history. think it is, but I would like to go back to the records to make sure. Some of the headlines today, Hunter Biden's firm, Joe's VP office, exchanged over 1,000 emails. Remember, I'm not involved. I have nothing to do. I've not talked to his partners or his clients or anything. Why is his business exchanging emails with the vice president's office when you were vice president over a thousand times. Well, there is somebody on this and they've gotten about 800 of them released.
Starting point is 00:43:22 The archives are like, no, these ones, these are, these are super secret. We can't let them out. It might have heard national security. Oh, okay. All right. Sure. We're going to talk to you about the emails and then move on to all of the other evidence that is rolling in. It is really, not looking good for the president, but you wouldn't know that if you're watching mainstream media, so we'll go over it in just a minute. We talked on the program yesterday about Jaden, the kid that got kicked out of school this week for having a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack. His teacher thought it was tied to the slave trade in America.
Starting point is 00:44:02 If we have time, I've got to go through this again because there's some new observations on this. Fortunately, Jaden is a Tuttle Twins fan, which means he's smarter than his teacher. Maybe not smarter. Just more well-read has actually read things about our history, not just the bad things. Let me ask you something. How many other stories like this are going on in our schools right now that you haven't heard of? How many of our kids are being fed leftist garbage daily? How hard is it to keep up with that and undo the damage?
Starting point is 00:44:37 Well, Jaden showed us it's not all that hard. Tuttle Twins. They're on a mission to teach kids from a young age. to think for themselves, to learn from true history, so they can fight to keep their freedom.

All right, we're going to Kimmerley Herman now. is the Southeastern Legal Foundation General Counsel. She is part of the legal group that filed the lawsuit to get Joe Biden's pseudonym emails. Now, if you're taking this from the very beginning, I'm going to ask her to tell us what the pseudonym emails and how common those are, etc. Hi, Kimberly. How are you?
Starting point is 00:45:40 I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on. You bet. Okay. So we heard about Joe Biden, using a pseudonym, in fact, several pseudonyms when he was the vice president. And we got this because of some of the emails on Hunter Biden's laptop, correct? That's correct. We first learned about these in the summer of 2021 when Hunter Biden's laptop was exposed and authenticated. And John Solomon, New York Post, Daily Mail, you, lots of people covered these.
Starting point is 00:46:13 and we were really interested in them because why would a vice president need to use an alias email address and forward government information to his son and his son's business partners? And so we started asking the National Archives for the records all the way back in 2021. So, and they just released them, so they're quick. They've actually still not released them. When we filed that initial request, they came back and said, whoa, we can't release any of Joe Biden's vice President records till 2022, come back then. So we waited. We came back then. And we've been waiting for 14 months. They have acknowledged that about 5,400 of these potentially exist. Wow, what story was I
Starting point is 00:46:59 reading today or maybe a couple of days ago that I thought a thousand existed and 800 had just been released? None of them have been released and there's 5,400 of them? Yeah. So none of these alias ones have have been released. I believe that our friends over, I believe in America First Legal, have also submitted some FOIA requests and that they have been getting some emails. Okay. They're not necessarily the pseudonym emails, right? Because he didn't always use the pseudonym. He just used it sometimes. Do you know how common it is for a president or vice president to have pseudonym emails? I mean, others have come out where they've said, you know, we know about how, Well, we obviously know about Hillary Clinton's secret server.
Starting point is 00:47:48 That was an entire server. There have been other stories out there that past presidents have used them. You know, use them. I don't think that you should be using them. I think that there's massive legal implications. But whether you use them or not, these emails are still government records. He was still the vice president talking about government information and forwarding that on to people. That makes it a government record.
Starting point is 00:48:14 It makes it subject to the Freedom of Information Act, which means that anyone in the public can request that these records get released. Now, we don't know what's in the pseudonym emails. We're hearing now that we are seeing things from the White House, coming out from the White House, that Joe Biden was involved with his son's firm. they were getting invitations to things. They were actually in communication on, you know, state dinners, et cetera, et cetera, and played a role in those, which I think is extremely uncommon, I would imagine. But the pseudonym, you think that these are even more damning, possibly, because... Yeah, I mean, why else would you use a pseudonym, right?
Starting point is 00:49:07 And so we've been sending FOIA requests and trying to release as many documents to the public as we can about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and Burisma and the other things that happened in Ukraine for, oh my gosh, three, four years now. And we've seen in a lot of those records with official email addresses that those meetings happened. We've put them out on our website. John Solomon's put them out. He's done a lot of those FOIA requests that we've lived. mitigated. And so those are damning enough. Why else would you use a pseudonym if you're not doing something nefarious? Now, maybe they'll come out and we will all learn that there's nothing important in them. Maybe they were personal communications. But what we're seeing on the laptop,
Starting point is 00:49:53 I highly, highly doubt it. Right. Yeah. I mean, I highly doubt it. I can't speculate to what's in them until we see them, but something just doesn't quite smell right. Right. And we know that Because of another email, right? We got the pseudonym. We found out that he was emailing in pseudonym because of the Hunter Biden laptop. We saw the, what was it, Robin L. Peters or something like that, Robert L. Peters. And do we know that he did communicate with the head of Ukraine? Under a pseudonym, he was doing some official business in Ukraine, we think.
Starting point is 00:50:36 he was reaching out to the president or somebody like that, right? I am sorry, I have not followed this story. Yeah, there are some indications to that, and there are various emails out there floating around. We at SLS have not personally authenticated any of them, but there are stories out there and there are emails that we've seen out there where there are these types of communications happening. And, you know, through the other FOIA work that we've done over the last several years,
Starting point is 00:51:05 we have seen evidence of those meetings. We have exposed very key records. One of them was a memo that came out just a few weeks ago where they're talking about setting up these meetings. And so there's really no question that Hunter Biden and Devin Archer and his other business partners were getting access to top state department officials to talk about their business dealings. What influence it had on that?
Starting point is 00:51:32 I'll leave that to the congressional investigation. and we'll leave that to the people who can actually do something about that. Our goal here is to just really try to help restore some level of government integrity. Either we have a FOIA or we don't. Produce the records. How unusual is this to be blocked with a FOIA like this for something that is emails? Honestly, I wish I could say that it's unusual. It has taken us seven years to get records from some government agencies
Starting point is 00:52:05 in the past. This is a fundamental problem that we have in our country, right? We have those that are elected into office and they preach transparency and they say we're going to show you everything. And then it's just stone wall, stone wall, stone wall, stone wall, by all of the federal agencies. And so this is a massive problem. What is it that they have to hide? We're still litigating lawsuits that we had against the DOJ and the FBI to try to uncover what was actually happening with Russiagate. right? Here we are all these years later. You know, we won't stop until we can expose the truth because the only way that we'll have a republic, the only way that we can rebuild this republic is by truth and transparency.
Starting point is 00:52:48 So how is it that, I mean, we can change this? How do we change this? We just have to try to change the culture and we have to let, we have to let the federal government know we as Americans have to let them know that we are not going away. We know that we have the right to these records, and we will ask for them, and we will continue to ask for them. Fortunately, we have the courts. And so now we've had a turn to the courts. It's time intensive. It's resource intensive.
Starting point is 00:53:14 It means that, you know, we have to continue to wait. But there is a way to get resolution. And fortunately, we have a judiciary, a strong federal judiciary, thank you, President Trump, that we can then turn to. So they now have, if I'm not mistaken, the National Archives and Records has 30 days from here to respond? Yes. Yep, they've got 30 days from when they are served at the complaint to respond. You know, we're really hopeful that they'll just come to the table and that they'll come to us and say, we know we kept putting you off, we're going to review the records, we're going to produce them,
Starting point is 00:53:53 and that we don't have to continue to litigate it in court. If they really fight hard in court to not turn these records over in a timely manner, that is a signal in and of itself, in my opinion, that there's definitely something in them that somebody does not want the American public to see. So it would be illegal for the White House to interfere with the archives and records, right? I mean, you can't have phone calls going back and forth from, you know, the Biden White House saying, no, keep these. They're supposed to just judge it coldly and release what they have to release. And if there is a national secret in there, then they can classify it. But there should be no political play in anything like this. Should there?
Starting point is 00:54:41 There really shouldn't be. I mean, there are some exceptions for classified information. Yes. And, you know, Joe Biden could then determine that he would declassify them potentially. And so there's obviously a process for that. as you mentioned, but there should not be communications going back and forth. You know, one thing that will be very interesting after all of this is to FOIA any communications about our FOIA.
Starting point is 00:55:06 That's something that's always really interesting to do because sometimes those communications do happen. And again, we just have to continue to fight to expose all of this because hopefully one day politicians will wake up and say, you know what, they mean business? I really need to be transparent now. This is an organization. If you don't know the Southeastern Legal Foundation, you should. It is slfliberty.org.
Starting point is 00:55:34 If you are somebody who has resources and you're tired of all of this, put your money where people are actually doing things to expose the truth and then putting those in the hands of people who can enforce the truth and clean up all the bad things.

Hunter Biden's Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm traded more than 1,000 emails with Joe Biden's
Starting point is 00:58:10 office during his time as vice president. Hundreds remain hidden because of executive privilege asserted by the White House. This according to the National Archives. The 861 emails that reference Rosemont Seneca were sent or received by the office of the vice president between. January 11th and December 2013. These are not pseudonym emails. These are emails directly from the White House, from the office of the vice president, to
Starting point is 00:58:41 Rosemont Seneca. How could you possibly write a thousand emails to Rosemont Seneca and not know anything about your son's business and him not getting any kind of special favors? The White House refused to allow the release of two. 200 emails referencing Hunter Biden's firm, citing executive privilege. Release would disclose confidential advice between the president and his advisors. So wait, was Rosemont Seneca advising the vice president on something? Because that's a quote.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Release would disclose confidential advice between the president and his advisors. Who at Rosemont is advising the vice president? I mean, Hunter? Hunter Biden in his business. Business associates frequently use their direct line of communications with the Office of the Vice President to leverage access to the Obama White House. The White House guest lists, seating assignments, and biographies of guests for various official events, including the 2012 United Kingdom State Dinner, the Turkey State Luncheon, and the 2014 France State Dinner were shared with the Rosemont Seneca employees. One email contains an invitation forwarded to the White House for then Vice President Joe Biden to attend an event at UCLA. foreign international relations and invites then the second lady jill biden to participate in a

But you are obviously in denial if you do not think he was breaking the law here. There's way too much smoke. You can sit here and still deny it because we don't have the irrefutable proof that is prepared for a court of law. But like you're just in denial. You're trying to come up. You're trying to hold out here until this proof does eventually appear. Hunter Biden received a notification from the State Department with updates and a rioting.
Starting point is 01:01:01 information for the state luncheon. Biden was involved in Hunter, Biden was involved in planning a state luncheon with Chinese officials at the White House months before he traveled to the country to secure a lucrative deal with the Chinese government. This is crazy. Obama said he'd have the most transparent administration ever. This is very transparent. In a written response to the request for the documents related to Hunter Biden, James
Starting point is 01:01:31 Biden and their foreign business dealings. The National Archives note of the group that the email messages include January 2011 guest list for the China State Luncheon event held emails obtained by the AFL reveal the broad access Hunter Biden enjoyed to the official government channels while his father was vice president. He wasn't selling the illusion of access. He had the access. He was given the access. And these are the official emails.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Yeah. And like, the only argument they have now is the, as if these things were like unrelated. You know, they're going to try to say, well, yes, Hunter talked to these business associates. And Joe showed up to dinners with them at times and hung out with them for an hour. But they were, you know, it's the only meal in history where you meet with a bunch of business associates and business never comes up. Like that's never happened in human history before this, but this particular dinner was like that. And there were apparently maybe as much as a hundred of these dinners. And it never. 100 now? It's incredible. You have to just be in legitimate denial. You know, you just want to find a way out of this for your own political side. And look, that's not, that's been, that's happened before.
Starting point is 01:02:50 It's happened on both sides. It's happened on both sides. But you have to be in denial to think that this was not going on. I mean, we have way too much evidence at this point. It's ridiculous. And they keep going on television saying there's nothing to. this to Joe Biden Hunter, sure, but not Joe. The Glenn Beck program.

Let me give you some additional news. here on the case into Joe and Hunter Biden. Apparently, we now find out that top justice department officials were meddling in the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden. They showed favoritism. Now, listen to what they did. This according to the Daily Mail. Attorneys for senior IRS investigator, Gary Shapley, revealed a top justice official approached them in April saying he wanted to investigate.
Starting point is 01:05:13 shape lease claims of slow rolling and obstruction in the Hunter Biden case. Associate Deputy Director General Bradley, I don't know, Wisenheimer, immediately met with Hunter's lawyers and his Delaware prosecutor, and days later struck a sweetheart deal with President's son getting blanket immunity and no jail time. So this guy was sent out from the top of DOJ and said, hey, these guys are complaining, you know, that we're playing games. What do you, why don't you go talk to them?
Starting point is 01:05:55 So he went in and talked to them and he was like, hey, we're really concerned about this. What exactly is happening here? What was going on? Then he went back to his boss at DOJ and said, said, they got pretty good evidence here that, you know, this has been slow rolling and they're not going to take it. Then the next day, that guy calls the lead attorney for Hunter Biden. Then they all meet.
Starting point is 01:06:29 And the Justice Department puts together this blanket immunity, which at the time actually included blanket immunity on everything. So this guy, Merrick Garland says, no, we're not involved at all. Really? Because somebody in your office went and met with the whistleblowers, who a couple months later became whistleblowers, met with the whistleblowers. Then he went to you, told you. Then he went back out and he talked to Hunter Biden's lawyers.
Starting point is 01:07:02 And then that day or the next day, you guys put together a deal to a deal to a absolve Hunter Biden from everything and try to jam it through. And when you did, the judge wised up and the whistleblowers came out. We now know that that is true. You know, Stu, you said a minute ago, and I understand it. I really do. Because we're so stupid right now. We're just at each other's throats.
Starting point is 01:07:31 And I don't mean, there are Marxists, Leninists that want a revolution. and want blood in the streets. When they say they want an end to whiteness, they mean it. When they say they want an end to America, they mean it. An end to our lifestyle. They mean it. But that's not our neighbor. I don't think.
Starting point is 01:07:53 That's not our average Democratic neighbor. Our Democratic neighbor has not been hearing all of these facts. So they don't know all of them. And when we meet with our friends, or our former friends or our family, or now some of us have former family, which is horrible. We don't listen because we've just argued back and forth. But if we can get to a place to where we say, look, this is our country. This is our country, my country and your country.
Starting point is 01:08:30 We both have to live here. And we have to have some basic rules that we agree with. And let's start with Mitch McConnell. I'm a guy who votes generally for the Republicans. Everybody's saying, I'm only saying bad things about Joe Biden's age because I'm an ageist. No, I'm not. Look at the way he acts. You and I both know.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Would you give him the keys to your car? You wouldn't. Now, I'm willing to admit my side has a problem with this. Mitch McConnell. And he's got to go. If you won't give them the keys to your car, why would you give them the keys to your children's future? We have to say to our friends, very calmly and rationally. How are you paying, have you paid attention to this at all?
Starting point is 01:09:32 Because I've tuned out so much, I know. And have you paid attention? Because, well, let me just start here. If Donald Trump was taking money. from China or Russia, would it matter? I know it would because that's what that investigation was all about, and that was proven to be false. You can get into an argument about that later if you want,
Starting point is 01:10:04 but just have your stats and all of the facts ready for that argument. Great, because it would have with me, if he were selling out access or anything like that, If he were doing that with Russia, one of our enemies, I would have been there with you voting for impeachment. I would have been the first one in line. Just like I am with Mitch McConnell. No, it's wrong, and we have to have certain things because this is all of our country. Both of us, all of us, we have to live here.
Starting point is 01:10:44 Let me lay out some things here. Let me show you what we do have. and then take the president's statements. I didn't know anything about my son's business dealings. Here's a thousand emails from his office to his son's business partner. His office was giving him government information on people that were coming to a state dinner that he would go to. He helped Hunter helped plan the Chinese visit. and he was there to welcome.
Starting point is 01:11:24 And then a couple of months later, he gets, now I'm not saying Joe's involved in that one, but is that using, is that his family using access? Yes. Okay, can I ask you this? There's like nine family members now that are all involved that have offshore accounts. Do you know anybody with an offshore account? Because I don't.
Starting point is 01:11:55 And maybe there's a good, reason to have an offshore account. I don't know. I don't know what it is, but maybe, but we should ask, why is it that Joe Biden's family and relatives all have offshore accounts? And what do those people do? Now, we can kind of guess what they do. They must all be energy because they were receiving money that the banks, 70 notices from the banks, said to the government, red flag, this looks like money laundering, but they did nothing about it. Treasury did nothing. They sent this money over to those shell corporations and put all that money in the bank of the Bidens.
Starting point is 01:12:40 Can we just ask, what did they do? Maybe they are energy experts. And they all legitimately were on the payroll for Ukraine and China. Maybe. But that's, I don't see that on any of their resumes. So what did they do? What did they do to earn the millions from the foreign oligarchs? We just have to start.
Starting point is 01:13:10 Look, the line that changed my life was from Thomas Jefferson, and I've said it a million times. Question with boldness, even the very existence of God. Now, he's saying this because back then you didn't question God. That would make you a heretic. You wouldn't question God. What are you an atheist? No, I'm just questioning. Question with boldness, even the very existence of God.
Starting point is 01:13:49 For, if there be a God, he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear. So ask honest questions. But then when you get the answers and they're provable to you, and I know this in my own life, because it brought me to Christ. Gosh, I don't want to, really? I got to stop swearing. I got to care about other people and serve them. I mean, I'm a whiner.
Starting point is 01:14:27 I don't want to do all that stuff. I just want to be happy in my life. Well, no, that's not the way it works. And when I found that out, I didn't want to do it. But I wanted to be happy. I wanted my life to make sense. So, okay, I'll do it. And you don't do it like, okay, I'll do it.
Starting point is 01:14:51 But I remember laying in bed going, my whole life is going to change. My whole life is going to change. And it doesn't sound like a fun life. Because there's a lot of things that I like to do now that, I mean, come on, really, sin. That's a pretty hefty word. But I did it because it was true.
Starting point is 01:15:12 And so you were either somebody that is seeking the truth, or you are deluding yourself because you want to be comfortable. And that's why the truth shall set you free, but it will make you miserable first, because it will change your course. And you know this to be true because I've paid a high price time and time again with audiences for just saying what I believe and knowing that you're not going to agree with me. Oh, well, live by the truth. and you know that if I would have found that Donald Trump was dirty and was doing those things they accused him of, I would have turned on him.
Starting point is 01:15:54 I would have absolutely been leading the march. And that would have probably been the end of my career. But I would have done it. Ask your friends, can we just call a truce for a minute? And I'll look at anything you put up about Donald Trump and his crimes or whatever. Because maybe you know something I don't know. But can we come together and just talk about facts for a second? And I'm not going to bring opinions or anything.
Starting point is 01:16:33 I'm going to bring facts. What do we know? But we first have to admit to one another. Will it make a difference? If I present the facts, will it make a difference to you? If it won't, well, then you're, I mean, then you're comfortable in your life and you're, you know, we all get what you deserve. But if you're an honest person, which I believe you to be, you'll look at the facts and you may share some facts of your own. Might change my mind.
Starting point is 01:17:09 I don't know. But that conversation has to begin. America has got to come together. our government is involved in massive corruption way beyond, way beyond Nixon. And if we don't stop it, we don't survive. And our children don't have a future. And I don't care if it's left or right that's doing it. I want all the weasels weeded out.
Starting point is 01:17:41 All of them. Back in just a minute. Ten years ago, the parallel economy said that you and I couldn't do it. There wasn't a parallel economy. We began building one together. One of the first into it was the blaze. We disrupted the media. Everybody said it couldn't be done.

Last night on my Wednesday night special, we were talking about Hawaii and what's really going on in Hawaii.
Starting point is 01:19:29 And there's some really disturbing things that are happening. And the government is almost 100%. percent responsible for this, the government and the response and the electric company, which is part of the government. They never prepared. They had all kinds of warnings. I mean, just I think it was like last year or the year before they had another warning that this was going to happen. Here's what you need to do.
Starting point is 01:19:52 And they didn't do it. They were more interested in green energy than fixing anything. And so there's horrible fire. And this could go down into a just a horrible partisan battle. But Hawaii is about to go into real suicidal kind of tendencies. There's so many people that lived in this town historic. They've lost their heritage. They've lost their house.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Many of them saw their relatives burn to death or couldn't escape and they've been waiting. I mean, they're already having, I think they've had three suicides already. from survivors, it's going to get really bad. And they're going to need, you know, mental health help. And one of the things that we always talk about at Mercury 1 is we, A, we don't, we don't put our signs up anywhere. You know, people always put their signs up and, you know, Red Cross, we don't do that. We don't care. We're just there to help and we're help.
Starting point is 01:21:04 We help fund some of these other organizations that are local. There's something big that we can do to help. But it's, I mean, it's kind of along the lines, really, of the Afghanistan thing. I mean, nobody's really going to do it. I mean, they'll get government to help, but I'd rather have, you know, free people that just want to volunteer their time. It'll change them. It'll change you. I'll tell you about that coming up in just a second.
Starting point is 01:21:37 Stand by.

Starting point is 01:25:24 6100. We welcome to the program, a man whose name, I have a hard time pronouncing. It's J.P. Decker. That's true. J.P. Decker is the Mercury 1 executive director.
Starting point is 01:25:40 He was a senior producer on this program for a long time. Then he stabbed me in the back and went to work for Fox. I told him not too, but he did, and he was successful there, but then he comes crawling, then he comes crawling back. And I said, okay, I love people, charity, go be the executive director. I did come back.
Starting point is 01:26:01 I mean, let's make that. I came back. You did come back. I did come back. I don't remember the crawling part. But, JP, you were just in Maui, and we were talking about this on last night's show, and you told me, And it's strange. There's a story in the New York Times today about how, you know, white people have just done Hawaii so badly. And the same with Puerto Rico. And, you know, it's all from the, I don't know, the Christian missionary. I mean, it's just so convoluted. And I know that some people in Hawaii and some people in in other places that are far away states, think that we don't think of them as Americans.
Starting point is 01:26:51 And you were telling me that you had a hard time at the beginning because people just would look at you and go, oh, you're from the mainland. And then that was a problem. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Anytime, anywhere that I went to, the first thing they thought,
Starting point is 01:27:07 I was going to bring wads of cash and buy them out. I mean, and they said, oh, we've already had many people come in, nonprofits. Everyone say, oh, yeah, as long as you put your logos up somewhere. And make sure you tell people that we're the ones helping you. We will help you.
Starting point is 01:27:23 And I always would tell them there's no cameras. A couple of people, we didn't film until after we talked to them for a long time. But I said, you know, we don't have cameras. We're not here for that. I'm here to ask how you're doing and how I can help as a nonprofit make Lahaina, La Hina again. And that would disarm them and help them to know that I'm not in it for gain. I'm in it to help. Right.
Starting point is 01:27:44 And what we do at Mercury 1 is we'll go into these disaster situations when we're in Florida now, right? Yeah, we are. So we go into these disaster situations and we assess, I mean, first thing we do is we go to our go-to partners that are always first in. And we say, what do you need and we give them the supplies or whatever it is they need? Then we go in and we find the locals that are actually doing something that they, They can do best more than anybody else. And we are not there. We never are there to get our pictures taken or hand them a giant check or anything.
Starting point is 01:28:27 We don't have a PR firm that is for Mercury 1 because we don't do that. It's truly about helping and enabling people to help themselves. Yep. And when we went in, we helped, you know, provide food, water. And this was through our partners, electricity. in Wi-Fi, but now there's a bigger problem. And that's what we're focused on now, which is the mental health crisis that's happening there. And it hasn't shown itself yet, but it will soon.
Starting point is 01:28:56 You know just what happened with COVID, how sketchy. All of our families are right now because of mental illness or depression or things that our country and our world is going through a fundamental. transformation to quote Barack Obama. And it is transforming us as people. And we're not, we're not aware that we are so disconnected from reality. And now add, knowing that your family burned to death in the house. And you're a survivor. They didn't survive. There's a lot of survivors' remorse going on with a lot of the people that I spoke with. I mean, Glenn, all of us have been through some kind of traumatic experience. Not like that. Not like that. And that's what a lot of the survivors were telling me. They even said, I don't know how to help my brothers or my sisters or my family or my friends that
Starting point is 01:29:54 were there. And that's, that is a problem. And that's why they feel left. That's why they feel left alone. Because they're so focused on helping each other. And all the outside groups are saying, well, we'll give you this money, we'll give you this. But they're not helping with the mental side of things. They haven't even processed what they've been through, and it's been almost a month. So you told me this last night, live on the show, and I just had this feeling that, okay, that's what we should do. And so what I want to ask is, if you are a doctor, you're somebody who you deal in PTSD, EMDR, any kind of trauma, and that's your doctor. And that's your deal, would you be willing to volunteer to be a part of our team? We'd like as many as possible
Starting point is 01:30:47 to go over and help them with mental health. We don't, all we want them to see is people from the mainland that just love them and don't want anything from them. We just came because we love you and you're part of us, not only the human family, but the American family. And I, I think, I'm getting goosebumps when I say this, I think we can make a real difference in just the love quotient to take this tragedy and turn it into an opportunity to heal much more than just Lahaina. Yeah, there is, there was a moment, quite a few moments when the question that I would ask, anyone that I was with was, how are you doing?
Starting point is 01:31:33 And that's all that mattered. And they just would cry and tell me their story and their pain that they're going through. And then they would tell me about the suicides that have happened already. and that they don't want anyone else to die. You know, it's amazing. I remember on 9-11, I remember we went out that night. We were in Tampa,
Starting point is 01:31:55 and I think you were probably there, Stu. Oh, yeah, we were together that night, sure. And that night, we went to Outpack Steakhouse. Yeah, we went to Outback Steakhouse. Yes, one of the weirdest dinners of all time. Ever, ever. It was so weird. And I remember we got into the parking lot,
Starting point is 01:32:09 and somebody was there, and one of us just said to that person, like they were our old friends, but we didn't know them. And we said, how you doing? And we sat and they may have cried. I don't remember because it happened so often.
Starting point is 01:32:26 But we just saw each other truly as brothers and sisters, and we were all going through something. Yeah. And it's really important. And they're not, I mean, can you imagine processing this? And where am I going to have my next meal?
Starting point is 01:32:43 Where am I going to, where am I going to sleep? What about my clothing? I don't have any documents left. I don't have any pictures of my family. I've got nothing. Can you imagine just processing that, let alone what you probably saw? And, you know, 10 years ago, where I'm from, More Oklahoma, was destroyed. My home, my family were safe.
Starting point is 01:33:09 but everything was gone. And within 12 hours, you said, JP, let's go. And we went with one of our partners and Mercury 1. And to see that firsthand, it still affects me. And I wasn't even there to see my town destroyed. But, you know, these people are seeing something I've never seen. When I was there driving through it, the first time, Sean Foster, who was with me, we were driving through, we were shocked.
Starting point is 01:33:35 It is gone. It's ashes. It's really, I've never experienced anything like this except for when Joe Biden said, no, except for the Yellowstone fires. And I drove through right after the Yellowstone fire. And when something has been made into ash, it is, the power of fire is overwhelming. And that was just, you know, trees and God forbid some animals. animals. This is man. Man. Yeah. Yeah. And these kids have seen things that no one should ever see. Okay. So we are looking for doctors that are trained PTSD, counseling, EMDR,
Starting point is 01:34:24 pastors that have dealt in trauma. We would love you to join our team. We'll set you up and and get you there if you would just do a few days, and it's not a vacation. Right. No. But please contact us. You can reach out to the email address is communications at mercury one o'n e.org. That's communications at mercury one.org. I know we, do we have chat on?
Starting point is 01:34:58 I haven't talked to chat about this. Have you? I just got off the phone with them before I came in here. So Chad Robichow is just fantastic. fantastic. He's with Mighty Oaks. He helped, or we helped him in Afghanistan and other places. And this is kind of what they do with people who are experiencing PTSD from being in battle overseas. Chad. Hey, Glenn. We're going to find other ways to meet up, but glad to be honest. I know. Every time we see each other, it's because there's something horrible that has happened. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:35:35 So did J.P. get a chance to really explain this to you on what we want to do. We want to send if your team can spare anybody. I know you're all over the world and still in Afghanistan. If you can spare anybody that really can help on the spiritual healing needs and the, you know, the trauma needs? Yeah, you know, JP and I talked and I went right to our. because when it's first kicked off, you know, my heart was right away like, hey, we have to get people out there and help. And then you always have the concern, you know, am I going to be in the way? Am I really need it?
Starting point is 01:36:15 You know, you only clutter the, but after talking to JP and talking to other people in the ground there, there's a massive need for people to come in, volunteers to come in and just be with people, pray with people, help give people some insights on, you know, how to move forward. And so, you know, Mighty Oaks has done that all over the world. We do that for our troops here, and we've done that in partnership with you in Afghanistan and in Ukraine. I have teams still working Afghanistan and Ukraine right now, but as we assess this, we certainly have the bandwidth to do it, something we're willing to take on and feel obligated to take on. This is our country and our fellow people and our fellow countrymen and, you know, Hawaii is not some far off land. No, it's ours.
Starting point is 01:36:56 And we want to go and help. Chad. So, yes, so JP, we're in. Okay. Let me ask you, can you give us something out of all the tragedy that you're involved in all over the world? Give me something today that I can chew on all day and go, wow, that is really good to know. Give me something good. I mean, I think through the tragedy around the world, especially, I think where I've seen it most is in Ukraine
Starting point is 01:37:25 where you've seen people that literally lost everything, just like the people in Hawaii. You see people at their most vulnerable time and their weakest moment find a whole. hope that they never found before, find strength and resiliency they never found before. And the way they find that is through community. I think in most cases, people in America especially, but all over the world, we're getting busy lives and we live our independent lives and we kind of don't wave at our neighbors. And when crisis happened, I guess people come together and lock arms. And it's actually a beautiful thing.
Starting point is 01:37:57 I was in a place called Kharkiv, Ukraine, in a bunker with 300 people. And most of them had lost family members. They lost their homes. They lost their everything. And I woke up in the morning and they asked me to come out from the bunker and be with them in this large, open area. They had, they had 300 people in there all singing praise and worship. And these aren't people that normally would, you know, church attenders or everything.
Starting point is 01:38:22 They're worshipping God. People have lost everything. And it just like took me back. Like, how could these people be? And really it has convicted me. I'm like, how could these people be so joyous right now and such a, the heart. moment of their life and they lost family members and everything. And it's just people coming together, finding hope and locking arms and supporting each
Starting point is 01:38:41 other and being there for each other. And, you know, I think in those moments, and I know you're asking for volunteers and some people may be thinking, like, how do I even help? What do I say? And I was in that moment in Ukraine. I'm like, they wanted me to get up and talk. I'm like, what do I say? And the only thing I could say in the moment was, I don't know what you're going
Starting point is 01:38:57 through. No one's ever attacked besides 9-11, but no one's ever, I never had to fight for my home and my family. but all I can say is that we care, people care, and we're here. I'm right here. I came here to be with you from America to Kharkiv, and I'm here with you right now to show you, if anything else, that people care. And, you know, if volunteers go out there,
Starting point is 01:39:17 sometimes you don't have to have all the answers, but you can just sit in front of someone and say, I came here because I care about you. You're not alone in this. I might not understand what you're going through, but I'm here with you. And sometimes that's enough. Chad, thank you.
Starting point is 01:39:31 Could I ask you to hold for one minute? I want to ask you another question on the air, but it's not related. Absolutely. All right, great. Hang on just a second. Chad Robichot. He's the author of Saving Aziz, which is an amazing story out of Afghanistan. And he is also the founder of the Mighty Oaks Foundation and a U.S. Marine Corps Force recon veteran.
Starting point is 01:39:53 Okay. JP, thank you very much. Again, it's Communications at Mercury1.org. Let's go make a difference. do something good. Despite the looming uncertainty of U.S.-China standoff, the war in Ukraine, and China's property meltdown, investors are still hanging tight to gold. And why not? Central banks are buying. Emerging markets are showing strong retail demand. Gold just saw its longest winning streak since July. Experts are even predicting now it'll reach a record of $2,250 an ounce soon.
Starting point is 01:40:26 This is, that would be remarkable if that actually hit that. You don't root for gold to go up. I buy it as a hedge against insanity and everything that is happening now, right now, please, please consider putting your dollar into something solid, something tangible, please. If you right now go to Gold Line and call them up at 866 Gold Line, they have a deal going on where you can buy $20,000,000. 25 quarter ounce gold mayflower rounds, and they will give you a whopping 25, 1 ounce silver mayflower rounds free. So you buy 25 of the quarter ounce gold, you get 25 of the 1 ounce silver for free. Doesn't extend to IRA orders, and as always, Goldline has your back on the economic roller coaster. Find out if it's right for you.
Starting point is 01:41:19 Please call 866 Goldline. 866 Gold Line or Goldline.com. 10 seconds, station ID. Hey, Chad, you've been over again and again and again in Ukraine. And I trust you. And I don't know if you can say anything. And if you say, I can't be frank right now. Just say it.
Starting point is 01:41:48 Yeah. But, you know, I saw an interview with Orban from Hungary with Tucker Carlson. And Orban was clear. He's like, you're not even close to these guys winning. It's not even a question on Ukraine if they can win. They can't. It's futile. Is that true?
Starting point is 01:42:11 Yeah. You know, Ukraine, obviously standing independently has no chance to win. Russia would take them their day. But I think what a lot of people don't realize, and people will talk about the fear of World War III, is that this actually is World War III. In my opinion, from being there, this is World War III. It's just different. It's not World War II, where you see people storm on the beaches and arm.
Starting point is 01:42:31 This is a proxy war with 30 countries around the world fighting. So Ukraine is just this massive place where you have Iranian drones killing, killing Ukrainians. You have U.S. drones killing Russians. So this isn't what people see on the surface is a Ukraine versus Russian war. This is a, you know, I would say a proxy world war taking place on battlefield of Ukraine. Can this be? For me, it's much more complex.
Starting point is 01:43:00 Can this be played out without going to a world war that everyone would recognize as a world war or nuclear war? It certainly can with a competent leader in the White House United States. You know, you have President Biden making a decision to send hundreds of billion, 100 plus billion, 130 billion dollars there, which is provoking in prolonging this war. I mean, they disincentivizes anyone to end it. Zewinsky's certainly not going to end it when he's getting, you know, over $100 billion from the United States. Why would he?
Starting point is 01:43:40 He's becoming one of the richest men in the world over it. We know Obama Putin's not going to back down because of his pride. And so, you know, if a competent leader would be there in the White House, I think this thing could be over in two weeks. And, you know, President Trump continues to kind of boast in the campaign trail that he could in this thing in a week or a day. And, you know, I think he's right. I think he could.
Starting point is 01:44:07 I think any strong leader that's willing to take the right stance in this, one economically, like Reagan did against Gorbachev because Russia has one commodity oil for the sanction that will lead a sanction. But also, I think you could use Article 5, Madele Article 5 in our favor. We know Russia's committed war crimes. You can move in a peacekeeping force, a humanitarian force, but the people of Ukraine. Wow. And if you move that up with a ceasefire, then, you know, Putin would not risk of Oracle v violations.
Starting point is 01:44:43 You could have a standstill there. Chad, thank you. Chad Robichow, Mighty Oaks Foundation. The Glenn Beck Program. Let me paint you a happy picture. I know I'm not always known for that, but I think you'll like this one. Picture it. You wake up in the morning and you don't hurt. You go about your day.

Whatever it is, you can do it and you don't hurt. When I talk about relief factor, that's what I'm talking about. When I say, get your life back, that's what I mean.

Starting point is 01:46:11 yourself 10 bucks. People of Kentucky. Please, for the love of Pete, just stand up and call Mitch McConnell's office and say, we love Mitch McConnell or we don't love Mitch McConnell, whatever. This is not about politics. It's about our country.
Starting point is 01:46:36 For the love of Pete, resign. Resign. At least the leadership, resign. Yeah, 100% needs to be done today. Should be done today. Done today. Man, obviously is not capable of doing this job.
Starting point is 01:46:51 And look, there are always political considerations, right, that are involved in this. We're not, we're adults. We know this. But they, the law was passed a couple years ago in Kentucky that the Democratic governor wouldn't just be able to name a Democrat. The Republicans will be able to put three people forward and he will choose from that group of three people. So you're going to get a Republican replacement.
Starting point is 01:47:15 It is time. This poor guy who, I mean, we've had all sorts of problems with Mitch McConnell over the years, but the man is clearly suffering. And you have to do something. That's got to be like a petite mall. You know, there's grand mal seizures and then petite mall seizures and they don't, they just kind of like you kind of freeze, you know. You know more about this than I do.
Starting point is 01:47:40 I have two daughters with cerebral palsy, or I'm sorry, with epilepsy. So I'm thankful I don't know that much about it But to me You know when I think of a seizure I think of something a little more almost violent Right? Well that would be a grandmall Mary has grandmalls
Starting point is 01:47:56 And when especially if she was off medication They are severe When she was in the hospital before her brain surgery They took her off all medication To just see you know to monitor the seizures And we were in the room And she started having a seizure We've never seen that before.
Starting point is 01:48:15 And the whole family was freaked out. We were like, what is happening to her? What is going on? And it's full grand mal. And it is violent. A petite mall is, it'll be like, my other daughter has petite mall seizures. And she is, you'll be talking to her. And they don't last very long.
Starting point is 01:48:38 And you'll be talking to her. And she'll just kind of be looking at you or staring off in space. And then she'll say, I'm sorry. What did you say? and she just it just shut down for a second because he did sort of come back after it sort of sort of like he mumbled and he couldn't really form his words
Starting point is 01:48:56 but you could tell he once again was having thoughts here he is here he is if he didn't Senator Daniel Cameron you have a comment on Daniel Cameron this is the second one well he's out of me very close far and away the best candidate we could have nominated.
Starting point is 01:49:20 I mean, stop. You know, the first question that put him into this, whatever this event is, was... You don't run in 2026. Yeah, how do you feel about 2026? Which is laughable. Comical. If it was not so sad, it would be comical. Like, they're asking him if he's going to run again?
Starting point is 01:49:37 The guy can't even stand there. Term limits. Term limits. But in the meantime, please, for the love of Pete, you know what this is? This is the people around these people. It shows you the power of the machine. It doesn't matter. They don't care if the person can is cognitively there or not.
Starting point is 01:50:01 It just runs. They'd rather have somebody like that who's no longer capable of doing it themselves because then they can just do what they want. And he gets the blame or he gets the credit. But it's nobody. You know, Stu and I were joking off the air today. I'm thinking about running for John Cornyn's office. Okay.
Starting point is 01:50:23 And but not by myself with Stu. Because Stu does, you know, he's like got that kind of mind where he likes to research and all of that stuff. I don't. But I'm good at giving speeches and stuff. You give a hell of a speech. Right. I'd probably suck as a senator if it was.
Starting point is 01:50:39 just me, but I think Stu and I would be good. So I'm going to run, but I'd just be honest with you. I'm the guy saying it, but this is really the guy who's really doing all the research and everything else. Be honest, I'll probably outsource it to Bangladesh, just to you guys know. Right. Like, I'm not really... I mean, you can't be expected to do all of it. It just seems like a lot tough work. Yeah, it does. It would be nice if they were just honest about it. But vote for us, you know? I'd rather, honestly, I'd rather have that approach if you were, if everybody was just being honest. Look, I'm, I'm really good at this. I'm not good at that. You know, I'll be really, really, I'm there on this, but
Starting point is 01:51:11 I'm going to need some help over here. Wouldn't that be great and refreshing? Instead, what you get is and by the way, this is of course going to work out terribly for all of us. You will be punished for what's going on right now because if Mitch McConnell does step down from leadership, likely Cornyn will run for it.
Starting point is 01:51:29 He's already said he will. He'll probably win. And he's already a terrible senator from Texas. He used to be good at one point. Way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way. way back. I think maybe Kennedy was president. I'm not sure. Right. Like, it's, is he better than, you know, I don't know. Biden? Thank you. How low our expectations are. Right. Like, he's, he's a, he has a terrible voting record. He's awful. He should be, and it's embarrassing because
Starting point is 01:51:58 it's Texas, right? Like, if, if he was in Maine, I mean, you'd be fire, right, whatever, fine. But like, the fact that you're getting this performance out of Texas and you're about to get it nationwide, I will not be surprised at all if he actually wins. Which is, if he wins that, I think we should run. I think it should be Glenn Stu. You know what I mean? Just Glenn Stu. This is not a job I want. It's not a job I want.
Starting point is 01:52:21 I've worked closely enough with you over the years. Would we be willing to do it together? Wouldn't we be willing to do it together? Yeah, I guess. If it would be good for the country? It'd be good for the country. Can we outsource it to Bangladesh? No, not Bangladesh. Maybe. I'll go on Upwork and just post the job. to say Texas
Starting point is 01:52:39 Senator to see if someone will take it for $8 an hour. But it's just, look, you said it before, Glenn. Term limits. Term limits, I know some people don't like it. I will say it is among the most popular policy proposals in our discourse. We're talking about 80% support across the board. And honestly, it also, while it's more popular among Republicans, it is also very popular even among Democrats and also among independents.
Starting point is 01:53:11 You're talking about any, you know, the easiest, the most common policy proposal is three terms in the House, two terms in the Senate. That would get you 18 years in this job. 18 years in these two jobs. You'd have a lot of influence. You'd have 18 years. That's plenty. Plenty of time for you to do what you need to do and go live an actual life outside of why. Washington, D.C.
Starting point is 01:53:37 It would be a thing that would eliminate all of these situations, largely. I mean, I guess someone could run for the first time at 80 and their feet could solve a problem. Well, you know what? If they don't act to 80, then I'm fine. If you can win at 80, you can win at 80. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:53:52 Look, but the problem is the benefits of the incumbency are so powerful. And the system is set up to punish anyone who's not an incumbent when it comes to money and influence on all these other things that these guys just win. I mean, Diane Feinstein, everyone knew she was incoherent when she won last time. This isn't something that happened in the middle of her term. I think Mitch McConnell could run today and they'd still vote him in. Yeah, it's probably true. I think he could still vote him in. Yep, even after this. And that's a huge problem. The founders wanted a system in which people basically showed up, voted a couple of times and left. Right. They would go back and have normal jobs. We're not there. I would like us to get back to
Starting point is 01:54:34 that, but certainly we can dissuade people from making the incredible lust for power their entire career, right? Like, can we at least limit them from that? And this is something that would pass easily in state after state after state. It's something you could, and I think you would have to amend the Constitution to put in. I don't think you could just pass a law on it. It would probably fail in the courts if you tried to just do it as a law. You need to do it as an amendment.
Starting point is 01:55:05 But it's overwhelmingly popular and why these candidates are not out there picking a policy as this popular and running hard on it. For the same reason they don't say yes to voter ID. It's also across the board, Democrat, Republican, very popular in the 80% if I'm not mistaken. And they don't do it. Why? Because they want it. They want the gray areas.
Starting point is 01:55:32 That's why. And I honestly would be fine, not fine, but I would accept a proposal that grandfathered, and I mean, grandfathered these people in. Great, great, great, grandfathered these people in that are already in office. If you're going to vote for it and it's going to be locked in the Constitution, we'll let you stay as long as you want to stay. Fine. I'd be fine with that. I just want this to stop. This is something long term that is a massive problem in our country. For that to happen, though, you would have to get, you'd have to bribe their staff because the staff is the one that would make the day. decision. You got, it's true.
Starting point is 01:56:05 It's so sad. Let me give you one thing. Now, I read this story, uh, and, and I thought, oh, of course, Biden administration sends $250 million more to Ukraine taking advantage of Pentagon accounting error. Okay. So you're like, oh, well, that's a, that's a quite, that's quite a number, a 250 million dollar accounting error. Wow, that's bad.
Starting point is 01:56:28 Still help me out, seeing that I'm the guy who's talking, but you're the guy who does the research. Let's see if you understand this the same way. The Department of Defense had been calculating the price of the equipment provided to Ukraine by telling the cost the weapon that it was replacing. So if you had a weapon, but it was $1,000 when you bought it, but it's going to cost $2,000 to replace it, we were counting the $2,000. Okay?
Starting point is 01:57:02 Okay. Right? Isn't that how you'd read it? It was replacing instead of the price of the weapon actually going to the Ukrainian troops. So we have given now $41 billion to Ukraine in arms because we've given much more than that overall. Right, yeah, in arms. Okay, 41. The accounting error is not $250 million.
Starting point is 01:57:31 it's 6.2 billion because of we were counting on replacing it, which we have to, that's the right way. That's not an accounting error. That's the right way to account for something. And somebody in the Pentagon said, you know, we can send more if we just count the value of the used weapon. And so they're counting it that way, which allows them to send, because it's already been authorized another $6.2 billion. That's outrageous. That is absolutely outrageous.

Starting point is 01:59:37 There's something else here now. Something new. From. on Paramount Plus. It's the series Stephen King calls scary as hell. Everything here is impossible, but it's also real.
Starting point is 01:59:50 Sci-fi vision calls it the best show streaming right now. We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules. Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch. Saving those children is how we all go home. From Binge All Episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. Have you seen the videos of the drama?
Starting point is 02:00:15 drones slamming into the buildings in Moscow. I mean, America would not put up with that for a day. Washington, D.C. being hit by a drone attack from another country? No. No. Not a day. No. And, you know, we think that Vladimir Putin is just a brutal, bloodthirsty killer, which he is.
Starting point is 02:00:36 But for him to be restrained like this, can you imagine New York? Canada's lobbying drones over the border and they're just going into our buildings in New York City, we would have zero tolerance of that. Right. And of course, and he did respond to Ukraine. But the restraint we're talking about is not as restraint toward Ukraine. They're probably ours. They're probably ours.
Starting point is 02:01:01 I don't know where else they'd be getting them. And, you know, our policy is we're not giving Ukraine any weapons that can reach past 100 miles inside Russia. So this would be yet another violation of our own red lines. You know what? There's a chance that Vladimir Putin is remaining restrained until the next election is over. There's a chance if this guy just doesn't bumble it so horribly that Putin is like, look, stay, stay, stay, stay. because if we elevate this thing, it will mean missile launches. Stop.
Starting point is 02:01:42 Just put up with it. See if Trump wins. Because Trump will end it in a day. He really will. Because he speaks Putin's language. Enough. And Putin, Trump will know because he's a dealmaker. Everybody has to win and everybody's going to have to take less than what they want.
Starting point is 02:02:06 I don't think this would have started if Donald Trump were president. I don't know that you can end this in a day. But, you know, I like your optimism. I like his optimism on this. I want a deal struck. And frankly, like, my top priority is not what the lines are between these two countries. No. I want this to stop.
Starting point is 02:02:25 And I think that that is a switch that our military and leadership needs to change. We need to flip that switch. Our military, they, Ukraine is. firing howitzers, 60,000 shells every day. Do you know how many we can make in a month? They shell 60,000, boom, 60,000 howitzers a day. We're sending our supply over there. How many can we restock with new?
Starting point is 02:03:01 So we need, gosh, I mean, a lot. 20,000 is our current capacity in a month. In a month. In a month. This guy is doing to our reserve, our ammunition reserve, exactly what he did to the oil reserve. There's going to come a time, and it's going to come soon, where America will not be able to respond.
Starting point is 02:03:28 So they need 1.8 million a month, and we can do 20,000? Is that good? A month? Is that good? Okay, is that sustainable? Would you say it's sustainable? No, no, no, and I know you're all about sustainability. So, no, not sustainable. Sub-optimal.
Starting point is 02:03:45 Okay, sub-optimal. Okay, not optimal. No, no. Sub-optimal. I got it, okay. Yeah, that's a problem. In fact, you know, close, no, not even close to optimal. No, wow. Sad. The Glenn Beck Program.
